However, unlike your peers who drink dairy from cows to survive, you don’t have the rs4988235-A gene mutation for lactose tolerance. You can’t digest milk. You are about to experience natural selection.

    I’m not gonna argue with that but also he only needs to reproduce one time to pass on the next generation, thus beating the defective genes game for years.

    or just have other milk producing livestock. It’s only cows milk that us lactose intolerant people are affected by

        If you are wondering how lactose-free goat’s milk stacks up against regular cow milk, it has a bit less lactose. As stated, the former typically contains around 4.1 grams of lactose per 100 grams, while cow milk contains 4.7-5 grams per 100 grams

        Sheep’s milk or buttermilk from cow’s milk is about the same lactose contents as goat’s milk. Less than 20% reduction.

        Lactose intolerance is actually a matter of scale, some people can drink lactose-low milks like goat milk when they can’t handle cow milk.

        Not that the comment seems aware about that.
